The Lagos State Police Command has arrested four people for breaking into a house and stealing the properties.

The four, which comprises a husband and wife, Uroye and Margeret Teddy; their 18-year-old son, Tega; and his girlfriend, Karima Edom, had burgled a house at No. 8 Ade Onitiri, Harmony Estate, Langbasa in Ajah area of the state.

According to reports, the four suspects broke into the house when the owner, one Folashade Odunuga, was away on a three-month vacation.

Edom, a close neighbour of the victim, allegedly passed information of the victim’s absence to her boyfriend.

Tega’s parents also aided in the theft. The stealing had been going on for weeks until the victim’s home help, Eniola Abisola, visited.

She couldn’t understand how the thieves entered the apartment as all doors to the house remained closed.

She immediately alerted the police. Detectives checked on all in the neighbourhood and the stolen Chevrolet Aveo saloon car was found parked in front of Tega’s parents’ house.

He was promptly arrested. During interrogation, he revealed that he entered the victim’s house through the ceiling and gradually, he began to pack the household items to his father’s house.
